Daring Do: That artifact is thankfully a little more knew. That’s a tragedy in itself though. For millennia fool have destroyed them thinking they were doing nothing but vandalizing books. But in reality they absorb the knowledge within this books and for someone who know how to connect with the artifact or the entity, that knowledge can still be accessed somehow. Imagine what wonder this thing could have absorbed early on soon after it was created.
Daring Do: Of course, connecting to it is still probably beyond the reach of pegasi like us. But to come back to the more grounded matter if you want to find it you need to find something new in Ponyville. That entity wasn’t here before clearly or it would been noticed in the library a long time ago. It probably been brought with the reconstruction material when they rebuilt the town, or excavated when they dug a basement. Most likely the later.
